The Natives, a pro-democracy and anti-sabotage group has called on Nigerians, particularly the youth and women, to support and pray for the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The group emphasized that as the First Lady and Mother of the Nation, Senator Tinubu deserved prayers and maximum support from all, not criticism at this stage.
They made the call in response to a malicious campaign against a picture of the President, his wife, and Vice President Kashim Shettima in Villa at the weekend.

In a statement released in Abuja by its Supreme Leader, Smart Edwards, The Natives urged fellow Nigerians to position themselves positively for the advancement of the nation.
The Natives further advised the First Lady not to be distracted by the ranting of those it called the sons and daughters of hate.
It also advised fellow Nigerians to expect good governance devoid of nepotism, ethnic bias, and exclusion from the current administration.
The statement read:
“Governance has begun. People are realising that we have a country to build. There’s no room for distractions for now. Nigerians should allow the Tinubu family to deliver on the mandate given to them.
“Critics should leave Senator Oluremi Tinubu alone. She has become the Mother of the Nation. She has the divine duty to protect her husband, support his vision and speak for expectant Nigerians.
“Former First Lady, Hajia Aisha Buhari, was almost shut out of the government she laboured for until she had to speak up for voters and citizens.
“So, when they called Tinubu ‘Balla Blu’, Oluremi was there as his comforter; when they said he was shaking after his victory at the APC presidential primary election, Oluremi was his companion. When Tinubu was almost demonised on the issue of Muslim-Muslim ticket, we told the world that Oluremi is a pastor and also a reliable daughter of Niger Delta.
“We, as The Natives, appreciate their harmony, friendship and her role as a pillar to her husband.
“We call on our First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to be focused, to be our Queen Esther everywhere and anywhere in the Presidential Villa and should not be weary because you are there for such a time as this to fulfill a divine mandate and purpose.

“As your office requires, millions of Nigerians are waiting for your impact on their lives. The hope of the indigent, the hopeless, the orphans, the unskilled, and so on, must be renewed and fulfilled in your time as the mother of a new Nigeria.
“What Nigerians are expecting are good and clear policies, bold and courageous with long-term benefits.
“As The Natives, we are ready for the difficult decisions that will transform our country and turn the economy around, with quick interventions that can cushion the effects on citizens as well as protect the poor.”
